To the mailing list admin,

What is the policy with HTML messages in this mailing list? I find it very annoying when messages to mailing lists are in HTML - this seems to be the general consensus in most mailing lists. I was under the impression that only plain text message was allowed in this list too.

Could you please clarify this.

Regards,
G.

Ah, I found the following page which describes just that...

"3) Do not use HTML mail, or worse RTF mail. Some mailreaders don't read them, or start up slow programs to process them."

So could the mailing list admin please notify the people to change their email clients to NOT send HTML message. For example, all messages from ""

Thanks,

Those messages also have a plain text alternative. You may want to configure your mail client so that it shows that one by default (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plain_text_e-mail_(Thunderbird)#Displaying_messages ). As long as the message is not sent only in HTML, it's fine by me.

Please send administrative questions off-list in the future.
